The Place by Tony Walsh Please ReadSpoilerThis is the place in the North West of England
It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing
From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking
Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and
So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands
We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands
And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton
And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten
And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome
And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it
And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth
But the Manchester way is to make it yourself
And make us a record, a new number one
And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!
And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league
And make us sing louder and make us believe it
that this is the place that has helped shape the world
And that this the place where a Manchester girl
Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side
Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride
And this is the place with appliance of science
We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance
In the face of a challenge we always stand tall
Mancunians in union delivered it all
Such as housing and libraries, and health, education
And unions and co-ops, the first railway station
So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!
But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!
And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls
And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul
And so this is the place to do business, then dance
Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance
And this is the place where we first played as kids
And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did
And this is the place where our folks came to work
Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt
And they built us a city. They built us these towns
And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound
Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves
They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves
And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe
The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive
And to work and to build, to connect and create and
Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great
And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own
Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home
And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat
All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets
Because this is a place that has been through some hard times
Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times
But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit
Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics
And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city
But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity
Because this a place where we stand strong together
With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever
And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)
Can get funding and something to help with their scheme
Because this is the place that understands your grand plans
We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!
Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere
You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer
You can live local, give local. We can honestly say
We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way
And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams
We support local dreamers to work for their dreams
We support local groups and the great work they do
So can you …help us help… local people like you?
Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes
Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones
‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact
That this is the place. We should give something back.
Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.0 -

One of the places I loaded into on my quick tests this morning was Wrothgar, and it only took me 15 seconds (actually, I think it was 14 - I was timing each loading screen with a stopwatch, and I think that was the one that ended up being 14 seconds, but I can't be sure - it might have been a different loading screen that was 14). Maybe the difference in our Wrothgar loading experience is because I was doing that immediately after the servers came back online and it wasn't yet very populated?b92303008rwb17_ESO wrote: »
Don't want to sound ungrateful but it still takes 50 seconds to load a V16 character in Wrothgar. I run ESO on a SSD and it never took over 30 seconds before IC patch. 50 seconds is an improvement, which I am more than willing to give you guys credits for but honestly it's not really good enough. I hope you still plan to look for other causes to this issue and work on more fixes. Really miss those 30 seconds old days.
And one more thing about performance issue in Wrothgar. The FPS is lower in Wrothgar than other zones, especially when I am done grouping with other people doing dailies and then it soon begins to drop significantly. Not sure if it is just me.
I've noticed that after almost every patch. After a patch the first time I log in on an account (and as I have 2 accounts I know that it's the first time on a given account, rather than the first time on a given machine) it takes much longer to load the initial character selection screen than normal. On subsequent logins it goes back to the normal load time. I'm really not sure why this is, but it happens to me after almost every patch.magnusthorek wrote: »From minutes, my loading screens dropped to 20 seconds. However, at least in a first moment, the time to load the character selection screen took a lot of time.
It could be some sort of data caching, who knows, but if I can travel in and out that quickly, I'm happy.

You do need to make sure that it is a 50 second load every time, and not just the first time after the patch was installed. As @UrQuan said, depending on the system you have, that first character load could require additional time. Sometimes it takes so long that people think the game is hung and ALT-F4 to kill the game. (not recommended)

I did test it a few times, excluding the first time after patch and they were all around 50 seconds. My last post was not about bashing ZOS at all, just a bit disappointed to see most people rejoiced at their 15 second loading time while mine sit at 50. Still much better than one minute and 45 seconds though.0 -

Yeah sounds very odd, same for me though, a vr16 took ages to load anywhere, but a fresh character was much much faster.
Maybe something in the programming was storing all completed qursts, and trying to load them all up for some reason on every new zone ? Possibly for achievement tracking, or the fact it uses quests to determine what areas / instances are available to you and need to be generated.
The only thing I can think they did was change it so that instead of loading ALL information for every single quest, it now only loads the ones related to that zone.
So when loading to say, rivenspire it only tries to retrieve information to that zones quests /instances/completions. As opposed to loading every single completed quest to unrelated zones.
Could just be poor optimization of their database or a poorly written query that doesn't result in an efficient execution path.0
